Luxury ride-hailing app Wheely has relocated its headquarters to London ahead of Britain’s departure from the European Union, the latest signal that London is continuing to pull in tech companies ahead of Brexit. Wheely chief executive officer Anton Chirkunov said in an interview that his decision to relocate from Moscow was to help attract senior leadership talent ahead of a planned European expansion. “When you try to hire executives, they all want to live in London,” Chirkunov said. Wheely is available in London, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and has about 3,000 chauffeurs across its network, it said in a statement Friday. She said the “at least” 25 people will be working in the office by the end of the year.
